There's nowhere to mount them so that they won't be seen - at least on the sides - and if you want to attach them to the floorpan you have to use self-tapping screws and put holes in your shell.

Is it really worth it to have a gay little pink or blue shadow under your car? Come on man, it's not 1997 anymore. Wake the expletive up.

No, I do not have a diagram. Sorry, sweetheart, but I haven't installed anything like this since 2000, and even then it was on a slammed S10 pickup.

What you'll want to do, though, is center the bars as best you can between the wheel arches on the sides and drill them in there. On the front and rear, try to mount them where the bumper will obscure the bulbs but not the glow. Center them here also. Then you link them all together and bam! Instant rice.

Do not drill them into the side skirt, do it further inboard

if you go to lowes you can buy L channel in lengths and cut it. if you screw it to the bottom of the car down the sides you can hide the side tubes behind it. i would scuff it and paint it black so it will not be noticable. on the front and back you will probably need to cut the bottoms out of the bumpers so you can mount the tubes and they will shine on the ground. i wish i had pictures of the bottom of a civic i could show you what to cut. ive put more neon kits under civics then i care to think about. looks ok when done properly, kinda played out though.
